A magic seed, when planted in a tree patch, may grow into a magic tree. Planting the seed gives 145.5 experience and checking the health gives 13768.3 experience, for a total of 13913.8 experience per seed (unless the tree dies while growing).

A fully grown magic tree can be cut to yield magic logs (and grant Woodcutting experience). After the tree has been cut down, it will eventually regrow; however, with level 80 Summoning, a hydra may be used to instantly regrow and cut down trees in tree patches. Using a spade on the cut tree roots before the tree has regrown yields magic roots and makes the tree patch available for planting a new tree. Alternatively, players can right click and clear the tree. This instantly removes the tree whether or not it has been cut down from the patch, making the patch available for a new seed to be planted, but no magic roots or logs are obtained.

The farmer next to the patch will protect a growing magic tree from disease, in exchange for 25 coconuts.
